Americans tend to:
>replace 'ou' with just 'o'
>shorten words containing 'ae'
>Replace the 's' in many words with 'z'
>add an extra 's' to some words in plural
>Invert words ending with 'er' into 're'
It's enough to be really fucking annoying when typing or using software.

explain the difference
>>61986197
Brits use outdated spelling, words and expressions that no normal English speakers use such as gaol(jail), thou art, and hitherto. The simplest way to put it is UK English is an obsolete form of English.
>>61986604
Hardly outdated lah. American English quite literally comes from one man's revisionism of the language to increase his country's literacy lah. It doesn't make it outdated, simply divergent from American history lah.

>Buses vs busses
This one actually makes sense
>Invert words ending with 'er' into 're'
This is just straight up retarded though
>>61986688
Sort of - UK english takes the approach that is a word already ends with an 's' you don't need to add another when writing in a plural or suffix starting with -s.
>>61986333
I've been using many of these interchangeably without realizing

Got it mixed around lad. Metre, centre etc. is the proper spelling, meter and center is the retarded one.

Yeah Australia's funny because we follow UK spelling but consume a lot of US media. Kind of a middle-ground.

I've used like aeroplane, airplane, busses, buses and meter and metre

Because that's not the way the english language works.
>>61986604
Since basically everyone (including the UN) uses it I would hardly say its obsolete.

why not spell it aloominum?

Just like usa with the brits there are some letters we simply dropped (most of them were silent anyways) and sometimes the same words mean different things. Just as an example
Fact- facto (pt)- fato(br)
Optical- óptico- ótico
Action- acção- ação

They prefer aesthetics over phonetics. I blame the French for influencing English to be prettier.
